A gentleman Irish mighty odd.

C
G
But Tim had a touch of the Tipler's way,
With the love of the liquor he was born,
C
G
And to send him on his way each day,
He'd a drop o' the crater
every morn,
Whack for the dough,
dance to your partner,
wealth of lure which your trotters shake.
C
Isn't it the truth I tell you,
G
lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.
One morning Tim was rather full,
his head felt heavy which made him shake.
He fell from the ladder and
he broke his skull,
so they carried him home,
his corpse to wake.
They wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet,
Laid him out upon the bed,
C
G
With a bottle of porter at his feet,
And a bucket of whisky at his head.
Whack for the door,
dance to your partner,
Welt to the floor with your trotter shake.

Isn't it the truth I tell you,

Well to the floor
with your trotter shake
F

An d left her sprawling on the floor

dance to your partner,

wealth to the floor
with your trotter shake,
F

when a noggin of whiskey flew at him,

It missed an d fallen on the bed

The whisky scatters over Tim

with your trotter shake
